NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — A tour bus overturned in the U.S. state of New York on Friday afternoon, killing five people, state police said.
The crash occurred on Interstate 90. The bus, carrying more than 50 passengers, was returning from Niagara Falls to New York.
"At this point, we know of several deaths, several pinned and multiple injuries," New York State Police spokesman James O'Callaghan said, adding that the total number of deaths and injuries was still being determined.
He said the bus driver lost control of the vehicle while it was moving at “full speed.” Almost all passengers suffered at least a “cut, bruise or abrasion.”
The bus was "very badly damaged" and many passengers were thrown from it, but the driver was "safe and well", the police spokesman added.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote on social media platform X that she had been informed of the incident. Her team is coordinating with state and local police, who are working “to rescue and assist anyone affected,” she added. –0–
